            Bug ID: 3129
           Summary: Add IP address to error kex_exchange_identification
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 8.1p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: sshd
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: Ulrich.Windl at rz.uni-regensburg.de

On one server I periodically see this error message in syslog:
sshd[...]: error: kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by
remote host

Nothing more. That doesn't make it easy to find out who is causing
this.
Therefore I suggest to add the peer's IP address to this or to a
related syslog message.
